Mike has worked for Maghull Town Council for 25 years and is a member of the National Wildflower Centre.

He said: "We've prepared six areas around Maghull for wildflower planting so far and already we seeing some results.

"We are getting some nice blooms around Bobby's Wood.

"The aim of the project is to promote biodiversity and to get the whole community thinking about nature and wildlife.

"It is an ongoing programme which we are building over time and I am delighted we have the backing of Maghull Town Councillors.

"I carried out a full survey of the area and planned this project out. While it is very cost effective, it is also very effective in making Maghull look even better. Which is exactly what my colleagues and I always strive to do.

"Although it looks great now, just take a look again in another few weeks and you'll see it looking even better."
